The right length of spikes
The length of the spikes is crucial and should be carefully adapted to suit the surface and the specific discipline. The length of spikes may be restricted to 9 mm for high jump and javelin throwing venues, while the maximum length may be limited to 6 mm for all other competition facilities. You can find the organizer’s specifications in the respective event announcement.
